2026 Two Spirit Celebration Volunteers needed
An I.R.S. 501(c)3 non-profit organization

The purpose of the Intercultural Partnership Council (located in the heart of the Cherokee Reservation) is to build relationships with, and provide support to, marginalized communities.
The goal is to implement the Cherokee concept of "Gadugi" in a relationship-oriented community that shares responsibility for the welfare of all and accepts each other as equals.
We want to mitigate the impacts of victimization through active collaboration with other community organizations and agencies.
Meeting Needs
Our next event is the Tahlequah Cares for the Unhoused. Food, clothing, health screenings, books, and many other resources will be available.

If you want to volunteer, please call or email us. Saturday, October 3, 2026, 1:00-4:00, Norris Park Pavilion, downtown Tahlequah!

Current Opportunity to Help!
The Native men at Jess Dunn Correctional Center hold a sweat lodge ceremony every other Friday. They meet weekly for a history and culture class, raise an extensive garden, hold regular ceremonies, and work with each other in creating gadugi- a mutually supportive community. Anyone who can provide seven square pieces of plywood or other appropriate material for bustle-making, please contact us!

Wado!
